Reviews

Sylvia is a natural raconteur and a wonderful cook. George Day, Blue Water Sailing magazine

Far more than a cookbook, this is Sylvias celebration of sailing, delicious food, and the good life afloat. John Kretschmer, author of Sailing a Serious Ocean

Wow! A cookbook from Sylvia. I have never tasted Sylvias cooking, but she is fairly intense, intelligent, and likes to live well, so I suspect it will be a good book. Bob P., yacht designer

The Boaters Cookbook is a thorough and detailed compilation of a complete boaters galley from necessary gear to delicious recipes, interspersed with entertaining stories of the people she and her husband Stanley met during their years of cruising and the places they voyaged to, all wrapped up in a must-have book onboard or at home.
